Elsie Anne Tshimunyi McKee is a retired professor of theology, the Archibald Alexander Professor of Reformation Studies and the History of Worship at Princeton Theological Seminary.[1] She is known for her research of the doctrines of John Calvin and the work of Protestant reformer Katharina Schütz Zell.[2]

McKee's grandparents moved to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1911 as missionaries. McKee was born and raised in the DRC until she moved to the United States to attend college.[3]

McKee received a bachelor's degree from Hendrix College in 1973. She received her diploma in Theology from the University of Cambridge in 1974, and her Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1982.[2]

McKee was granted a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies in 1986 for her project creating translations of John Calvin's sermons.[4] Hendrix College awarded McKee the Odyssey Medal for research in 2014.[5]

McKee retired from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2021, after 29 years of teaching there.[3]

In 2021, McKee authored the preface for Cradling Abundance, the memoir of her friend Monique Misenga Ngoie Mukuna, aka Maman Monique, detailing the latter's life as an African Christian woman in the DRC.[6][7]
